A small block of mass 20.0 grams is moving to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of 0.68 m/s. The block

has a head-on elastic collision with a 40.0 gram block that is initially at rest. Since the collision is head-on, all velocities lie along the same line, both before and after the collision.(a) What is the speed of the 20.0 gram block after the collision?(b) What is the speed of the 40.0 gram block after the collision?

Answer:

a) v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}

b) v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the lighter block, m'=0.02\kg

velocity of the lighter block, u'=0.68\ m.s^{-1}

mass of the heavier block, m=0.04\ kg

velocity of the heavier block, u=0\ m.s^{-1}

a)

Using conservation of linear momentum:

m'.u'+m.u=m'.v'+m.v

where:

v'= final velocity of the lighter block

v= final velocity of the heavier block

m'.u'=m'.v'+m.v

m'(u'-v')=m.v ........................(1)

Since kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collision:

\frac{1}{2}m'.u'^2=\frac{1}{2}m'.v'^2+\frac{1}{2}m.v^2

m'(u'^2-v'^2)=m.v^2

m'(u'-v')(u'+v')= m.v^2

divide the above equation by eq. (1)

v=u'+v' .............................(2)

now we substitute the value of v from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

m'(u'-v')=m(u'+v')

\frac{m'+m}{m'-m} =\frac{u'}{v'}

\frac{0.02+0.04}{0.02-0.04} =\frac{0.68}{v'}

v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1} (negative sign denotes that the direction is towards left)

b)

now we substitute the value of v' from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

m'(u'-v+u')=m.v

2m'.u'=(m-m')v

2\times 0.02\times 0.68=(0.04-0.02)\times v

v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The time of flight of the ball is 1.06 seconds.

Explanation:

Given \Delta x=7\ m

\theta=45 \°

Also, \Delta y=(3.5-2)=1.5\ m

a_x=0\ and\ a_y=-9.81\ m/s^2

Let us say the velocity in the x-direction is v_x and in the y-direction is v_y. And acceleration in the x-direction is a_x and in the y-direction is a_y.

Also, \Delta x\ and\ \Delta y is distance covered in x and y direction respectively. And t is the time taken by the ball to hit the backboard.

We can write v_x=v_0cos(45)\ and\ v_y=v_0sin(45). Where v_0 is velocity of ball.

Now,

\Delta x=v_x\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a_x\times t^2\\ \Delta x=v_x\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0\times t^2\\\Delta x=v_xt

\Delta x=v_0cos(45)\times t\\7=v_0cos(45)\times t\\\\t=\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}

Also,

\Delta y=v_y\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a_y\times t^2\\ 1.5=v_0sin(45)\times \frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}+\frac{1}{2}\times (-9.81)\times(\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)} )^2\\\\1.5=7-\frac{481}{(v_0)^2}\\ \\\frac{481}{(v_0)^2}=5.5\\\\(v_0)^2=\frac{481}{5.5}\\ \\(v_0)^2=87.45\\\\v_0=\sqrt{87.45}=9.35\ m/s.

Plugging this value in

t=\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}\\ \\t=\frac{7}{9.35\times 0.707}\\ \\t=\frac{7}{6.611}

t=1.06\ seconds

So, the time of flight of the ball is 1.06 seconds.

A 4.44 l container holds 15.4 g of oxygen at 22.55°c. what is the pressure?
padilas [110]
We will use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT, where n is moles and equal to mass / Mr
P = mRT/MrV
P = 15.4 x 8.314 x (22.55 + 273) / 32 x 4.44
P = 266.3 kPa

6. What are 3 different evidences of evolution? How is each form used to provide evidence of evolution?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Divergent - This type of evolution often occurs when closely related species diversify to new habitats. On a large scale, divergent evolution is responsible for the creation of the current diversity of life on earth from the first living cells. On a smaller scale, it is responsible for the evolution of humans and apes from a common primate ancestor.

Convergent - Convergent evolution causes difficulties in fields of study such as comparative anatomy. Convergent evolution takes place when species of different ancestry begin to share analogous traits because of a shared environment or other selection pressure. For example, whales and fish have some similar characteristics since both had to evolve methods of moving through the same medium: water.

Parallel evolution - Parallel evolution occurs when two species evolve independently of each other, maintaining the same level of similarity. Parallel evolution usually occurs between unrelated species that do not occupy the same or similar niches in a given habitat.
